In Reply to: 641 3 point hitch weight limit posted by darin mcclain on Tuesday, April 15, 2008:
The amount of weight you can pick up with the 3ph is limited by the weight of the tractor. Your front wheels will come off the ground before you exceed the limits of the hydraulic system. More weight on the front of the tractor will allow you to increase the amount you have on the 3ph. The most weight I've ever had on my 850's lift was 21 80 lb bags of cement on the pallet forks. I had about 400 lbs of scrap iron hung on the front bumper to accomplish it. Even at that, the front tires were barely making contact with the ground. Normally the weight capacity of the lift is about 700-800 lbs before the front wheels start waving in the air.
